Abstract

The paper investigates the conditions on and directionality of cross-linguistic influence in bilingual acquisition by looking at the development of right-dislocation in Cantonese-English bilingual children. Hulk and Müller (2000) hypothesize two conditions on cross-linguistic influence in bilingual acquisition: (1) the structure involves the interface of two modules of grammar and (2) the structure in which cross-linguistic influence occurs is one where two languages overlap. If the hypothesis is correct, then one might expect cross-linguistic influence to occur in the bilingual acquisition of right-dislocation (RD) constructions, as RD is a phenomenon at the interface of syntax and pragmatics, and shows …
